- Book Synopsis
- Since the first introduction of Christianity to China, many in both the East and West have explored the compatibility of Chinese culture with the Gospel. As a Chinese scholar, educated both in China and in Italy, Chiaretto Yan dreams of a new basis for encounter and dialogue, respectful of both church teaching and the deep wells of Chinese wisdom. In this book he attempts to find points of agreement between the Christian culture of unity and the Chinese culture of harmony, drawing on both biblical themes and insights from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. This encounter is then extended to practical questions, including the promotion of integral ecology, "fraternity and social friendship," the alleviation of poverty, and issues of social justice and religious freedom.
